Choosing Rooms and Ning Rongrong's Strange Behavior

"Then I'll do it too." Originally, Flender was thinking of haggling a bit more, but firstly, Zhao Wuji and the others agreed quickly, and secondly, the salary of 10,000 Gold Soul Coin was indeed extremely generous, so Flender was satisfied.

Lu Yuan had already shown such sincerity, so it would be unreasonable for him to still be thinking of taking advantage of the situation. Therefore, he immediately agreed.

"Very good, on behalf of the Heavenly Star Academy, I welcome all the teachers to join us." Lu Yuan said, a smile appearing on his face.

"Oh, by the way, I have a surprise for you. Another vice dean of the inner courtyard is Dean Liu Erlong. I think Dean Flander should be familiar with her, right?" Lu Yuan asked with a smile.

"Erlong is also at the Heavenly Star Academy?" Upon hearing this news, Flender's eyes lit up. For the past twenty years, he had truly missed Liu Erlong every moment.

The reason he insisted on founding Shrek Academy was because of a sentence Liu Erlong said back then. It can be said that Flender's love for Liu Erlong was indeed profound.

He willingly withdrew from the competition to allow Liu Erlong and Yu Xiaogang to be together, choosing to wait quietly on the sidelines. He waited for more than 20 years without changing his original intention, remaining devoted to her. Such a thing is truly something that not everyone can do.

If Lu Yuan were to stay with someone who doesn't love him for twenty years, he would never do it. That's why he truly admires Flender's infatuation with Liu Erlong.

Now that Flender has joined Heavenly Star Academy, the two of them will definitely run into each other frequently in the future, which gives us a chance to bring them together. Moreover, Yu Xiaogang is no longer available, so Liu Erlong following Flender is indeed a very good choice.

"Where is Erlong now? I haven't seen her." Flender asked.

"Dean Erlong went to draw lots to determine her opponent for tomorrow's match. The draw will not take place until after today's matches, so Dean Erlong will probably be back a little late."

"Once Dean Erlong returns, let's get everyone together tonight for a proper celebration and a good meal," Lu Yuan said with a smile.

"Gulp!" Upon hearing Lu Yuan say that they would have another good meal in the afternoon, Ma Hongjun and Oscar couldn't help but swallow at the same time. Today's lunch was a real treat for them.

Hearing that there would be more that night, the two of them became somewhat excited.

Seeing this, Lu Yuan smiled slightly and said, "Now I'll take you to choose your rooms. Follow me."

As Lu Yuan spoke, he stood up and walked towards the room, with Flender and the others quickly following.

"Rooms 601 to 608 are all occupied; my teammates are sleeping in them. So, Dean, you can choose whichever you like. There are still a dozen or so rooms left," Lu Yuan said.

"Oh, then I'll stay in 609." Ma Hongjun said immediately after Lu Yuan finished speaking.

"Then I'll stay at 611, it's not far from Fatty," Oscar said with a smile.

The rooms here are actually arranged according to odd and even numbers. One side is numbered 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9, while the other side is numbered 2, 4, 6, 8, and 9. Moreover, the order is exactly the opposite. On one side, the room numbers increase from left to right, while on the other side, the room numbers increase from right to left.

There are a total of 28 rooms, and room 611 is right next to Ma Hongjun's room 609.

After Oscar and Ma Hongjun made their choices, Zhao Wuji and the others also chose their rooms.

"I'll stay in this room!" Flender said, looking at the room number 612.

"Oh, I'm sorry, Dean Flander, I forgot to mention earlier, room 612 has been chosen by Dean Erlong, and she'll be staying here," Lu Yuan said, patting his forehead.

"Is this Erlong's room?" Upon hearing this, Flender paused, looked at room 617 across the street, and said, "Then I'll stay in this room."

"Would you like to stay in this room? Sure!" Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan nodded, indicating that there was no problem.

Once Flender has chosen his room, the room selection process is complete.

Flender and the others went into their rooms to look around their new home, while Lu Yuan was also preparing to return to his own little nest with Zhu Zhuqing. Just then, Ning Rongrong tugged at Lu Yuan's sleeve.

"What's wrong, Rongrong? Is something the matter?" Lu Yuan asked.

"Xiao Yuan, I want to go out for a bit," Ning Rongrong said.

"Going out for a bit? Do you want to go out and have some fun? How about Zhu Qing and I go with you?" Lu Yuan asked.

"No need, I can go out by myself," Ning Rongrong said, shaking her head.

"You're going out alone? It's dangerous for a support-type Soul Master like you to wander around in this unfamiliar place like Spirit City. Let us go with you," Lu Yuan said.

"No need, really no need. My family has Soul Master to protect me, so you don't need to worry about me," Ning Rongrong waved her hand and said.

"Is that so?" Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan frowned slightly. Although he felt that something was amiss, since Ning Rongrong insisted and there was no danger, he would grant her request.

"Then be careful," Lu Yuan advised.

"Okay, I know, I'm off!" Ning Rongrong waved and then ran away quickly.

"Xiao Yuan, I find it a bit strange. Given how much Rongrong cares for you, it's unusual that she would refuse your offer to accompany her. This isn't like her at all." Watching Ning Rongrong run off, Zhu Zhuqing looked at Lu Yuan and couldn't help but say softly.

"Maybe Rongrong has something she doesn't want us to know about. Let's not worry about it too much. As long as she's safe, that's all that matters. Since she said she has a family Soul Master protecting her, we don't need to worry about her safety. As for the rest, it's none of our business. Let her be," Lu Yuan said.

"Yes, you're right." Zhu Zhuqing nodded gently upon hearing this.

"Let's go back first." Holding Zhu Zhuqing's hand, Lu Yuan walked towards his room, which was the first one at the front, number 601.

On the other side, Lu Yuan and Zhu Zhuqing returned to their room, while Ning Rongrong quickly ran out of the Holy Light Hotel.

She patted her slightly heaving chest, and seeing that no one was following, she breathed a sigh of relief.

She really wanted Lu Yuan to go shopping with her, but thinking about her big plan for tonight, she had to reluctantly refuse Lu Yuan offer.

Moreover, if tonight's plan succeeds, she will have plenty of opportunities to be intimate with Lu Yuan in the future.

Ning Rongrong said to herself in her heart.

Patting her chest, Ning Rongrong walked to a deserted corner and said in a calm voice, "You can all come out now."

"Greetings, Miss!" As soon as Ning Rongrong finished speaking, two figures appeared. These were two Soul Emperors, specifically responsible for protecting Ning Rongrong's safety.

"I need you to find something," Ning Rongrong said softly, her lips barely moving.
